Slash Responds to Axl Rose Calling Him a 'Cancer'

"Slash shouldnt've been in the band in the first place"...amazing. :-/

Well Axel, it seems you are content having bottles thrown at you at every show you do, while Slash while Slash will enjoy a fruitful life and career. I would consider an apology or keep bringing out the "umberellas".

first off huge fan of gnr... till they split.. huge slash fan now praying for the day they kiss and make up..afd was and will be the best album ever made.. well right up there with the wall and zepplin 4... but axls new album< i refuse to call it guns and roses since axl is the only one left> sucks!!!! ill take VR any day!!

Screw Axel and Slash.

It is GNR I care about and they are keeping it away from us. I wish they would just get over their own personal BS and get back to re-inspiring us.

Slash churned out some of the most amazing solos in Appetite & Illusions. Izzy was more likely responsible for the grinding riffs. Al said and done though, Slash can't write a tune to save himself. No dispute about that. His new record is sadly more washed out blues plugged in over completely forgettable songs. Chinese Demo although v. dark, was GNR the way people want to hear it. Also Slash turning up to play Nov. Rain etc. with rappers is a joke.

Regardless of who is doing good now or then. Say what you want to about Axle or Slash, neither one of them would be where they are today without the voice and the music backing the voice! So most likely if it wasn't for them doing AFD they might still be nobodies!!!!!

So on this subject I don't know too much. But while it is true that Slash talks more about the situation than Axl it's only because he doesn't mind talking about it. Axl treats it like Slash is a plague because look at the facts. You were in one of the best bands of it's time and after the split your former band members make their own band. If your a sensitive person like Axl you consider that like a kick in the nuts. Also you can imagine how much drugs they did back in the day. All you need is to be depressed and get high. Then you start thinking about everything. Same thing with drinking. Once you ponder over everything you've been through you start wondering "Where'd it go wrong? Why are they still loved but I'm just left to rot? Why does everyone love Slash when I'm what made GNR? I bet he was just trying to steal all the fame for himself. He was my best friend in the whole group and even he betrayed me. Fuck it. Fuck everyone and Fuck slash."
I could deffinately imagine that being easily offended and having a huge ego would play a big role in it. You can look at some of his onstage antics and see that. Repeatedly stopping shows to lash out at fans because he notices something that pisses him off and instead of shrugging it off and keep going he has to voice his opinion. So he tells the whole band to stop playing so he can show of his "don't give a fuck" attitude. I believe Slash when he says that he doesn't have hard feelings because in most of his interviews he's always very positive reflecting on Axl.

So finally I really believe that it's a personality trait of Axl. He feels betrayed and the only finger he can point to is the one who is still going on with his life. But because of how he is he will never forgive Slash for the break up that Axl himself caused. If he could just not take shit personally they would have a chance for reunion. Sometimes it's good to bury the hatchet.

Hmmmmm, I see or hear Slash's name everywhere at different music events or he shows up to play a lead for someone on an award show. After GNR he regrouped and Velvet Revolver was a great band too but yet feel victim to another spoiled drama queen with Scott Weiland because of his constant battle with addictions. I never ever see Rose anywhere, which is good because he looks very rough, time has not been good to him. Rose is a drama queen who lashes out like a small child whenever he does not get his way and in turn he has ended up alienating everyone around him who made him successful. After GNR Rose hasn't done sh** and it took like 7 yrs or something ridiculous for his new CD to come out and it got zero air time. Rose is hype! Back in the day he could blend with the group GNR and they all shined but without the band mates he used to have he is nothing and he knows it. SLASH is a guitarist who has stamped his sound in rock music history. You can tell who is playing a lead in a song when he is playing that Les Paul and making it cry! SLASH continues on down the road of making great sounding quality music with whoever and where ever, which is clearly evident on his new compilation. ROse could never do something like that because of his temper tantrums and his role of being the drama queen! RIP Rose you are just a washed up ex-frontman of a once great band! Realize your current role of being a bitter old dude who cannot realize that you are old news and nobody cares!

People raggin on axl are fucking douchbags. Who knows what went on behind the scenes. We only have Slash's side of the story because frankly he never stops talking. Axl is one of the greatest frontmen in rock history, as well as an awesome songwriter...

I think Axl cared and liked Slash a lot. But his personality has a very immature, dominating and perfectionist side. So when Slash formed a new band with the other GNR members, Axl felt betrayed by his best friend and favorite collegue and he couldn't accept it. Probably, Axl blamed Slash for everything that went wrong in Guns. Slash has a rather easy going personality so he couldnt take it anymore and he got tired of handling the situation and calming Axl down. This is why Axl is using sarcasm and pun to get back to him. Axl must have really liked and admired Slash so all these feelings turned into hatred and accusation. Very immature but clear as a spring water. Probably, Axl is really missing Slash deep down inside.( I just remembered how he introduced him admirably "half man half beast"...)

Its a pity.. really... Your energies mixed great on stage.. Axl was like the sun; energetic, fiery and crazy and Slash was like the moon; enigmatic, charismatic.. you guys were epic together and u completed eachother.. Life is short, Axl.. too short to let your best buddies go.

Axl has a choice of what he wants to do and what he doesn't. And if he doesn't want the old GNR or doesn't like Slash, that's his business not ours. Just leave him alone and let him rock the way he wants to.
